  • I have updated the CHANGELOG.md under the appropriate categories with all my changes in this PR.

This PR refactors weather/location handling and improves humidity accuracy in the weather widget. It adds defensive storage handling, an IP-based geolocation flow for extension reliability, stronger cache/invalidation logic, and debug instrumentation.

Key changes

  • Humidity & data sources

    • Augments WeatherAPI humidity with Open-Meteo data when available (preserves WeatherAPI condition text); falls back gracefully.
    • WeatherAPI remains the primary source; Open-Meteo used only to supplement humidity.
    • Tracks humiditySource to indicate whether Open-Meteo augmentation was applied.
  • Location storage & sourcing

    • Normalizes weatherLocation in localStorage to JSON with validation; supports structured objects and plain-text locations (isPlainText flag). Invalid or malformed values are cleared with warnings.
    • Manual location save stores { name, isPlainText: true } and clears related caches to force refresh.
    • Selecting a suggested location stores the full location object and sets weatherLocationQuery (lat,lon) for API queries.
    • Replaces direct browser GPS flow with an IP-based lookup (fetchIPBasedLocation, uses ipinfo.io) for extension scenarios. The GPS toggle now triggers an IP-based fetch; on success usage is enabled and state reloads, on failure the toggle reverts and the user is alerted.
    • Cache invalidation is performed aggressively when location changes (clears weatherParsedData, weatherParsedTime, weatherParsedLocation).
  • Weather data retrieval & caching

    • Reworked fetch flow to support the new location model; cache retention standardized to a 20-minute TTL.
    • After fetching from WeatherAPI, the code attempts to augment humidity using Open-Meteo without overwriting WeatherAPI condition text.
    • Persists filtered weather data (location, temp, humidity, metadata) to localStorage and refreshes UI from cache when valid.
  • UI and UX tweaks

    • Prevents saving empty manual locations and shows user-friendly alerts on IP lookup failures.
    • Suggestion/autocomplete behavior adjusted to suppress input while suggestions are visible and handle empty/failed suggestion fetches defensively.
    • Replaced scattered reloads with window.location.reload() in several flows; truncates/formats displayed location text and toggles inactive classes when hiding weather.
  • Debugging & robustness

    • Adds DEBUG_MODE constant (false by default) and debugLog(...args) for conditional logging.
    • Adds debug traces around API calls, cache hits/misses, and state transitions; improved try/catch handling around network calls.

Public/exported entities added

  • DEBUG_MODE constant
  • debugLog(...args) function
  • fetchIPBasedLocation() function

🤖 Fix all issues with AI agents
In @scripts/weather.js:
- Around line 171-200: The issue is that the local variable named location
(declared in the gpsToggle change handler when awaiting fetchIPBasedLocation)
shadows the global window.location, causing subsequent calls to
location.reload() to fail; fix it by renaming that local variable (e.g.,
ipLocation or coords) wherever it's used in the gpsToggle.addEventListener block
and replace any local uses accordingly, and change the reload call to explicitly
call window.location.reload() (or keep window.location.reload() to be safe) so
the code uses the browser Location API rather than the fetched string; ensure
you apply the same rename/fix for the analogous case later in the else branch or
at line ~198 if it also uses a shadowing identifier.
- Around line 440-443: The unconditional cache clearing in initializeLocation()
is causing excessive API calls; remove the three localStorage.removeItem(...)
calls there and instead ensure cache is only invalidated when the location
actually changes by comparing currentUserLocation to the cached
"weatherParsedLocation" (or rely on the existing location-change check already
in fetchWeather()). Update initializeLocation() to preserve
weatherParsedData/time/location unless currentUserLocation !== cachedLocation,
and keep the location-change invalidation logic inside fetchWeather() (function
name: fetchWeather) as the single place that clears those keys.
- Around line 54-68: The normalizeHumidity function is dead code that
contradicts the stated approach of using Open‑Meteo data directly; delete the
normalizeHumidity function declaration (normalizeHumidity) from the file and
remove any related unused imports or references, and ensure the humidity
assignment uses the raw Open‑Meteo value as already implemented (update or
remove any misleading comments that imply normalization).
- Around line 71-100: The function interpretWeatherCode is dead code—remove the
entire interpretWeatherCode declaration so the WMO mapping object and its unused
function name are deleted; also search for any references to
interpretWeatherCode or the weatherCodes identifier and eliminate or update them
if found (no runtime behavior should change since weather_code is intentionally
ignored and WeatherAPI's condition text is used).
🧹 Nitpick comments (4)
scripts/weather.js (4)

464-464: Consider extending cache retention for weather data.

A 5-minute cache window is quite aggressive for weather data, which typically changes slowly. This, combined with the forced cache invalidation at lines 440-443, will result in frequent API calls that may hit rate limits for both WeatherAPI and Open-Meteo.

Consider extending to 15-30 minutes to balance freshness with API usage.


490-493: Add user-facing error feedback.

When WeatherAPI returns an error, the code silently returns after logging to console. Users are left without explanation when weather data fails to load. Consider displaying an error message in the UI or showing a fallback state.

💡 Suggested enhancement
                 if (parsedData.error) {
                     console.error("WeatherAPI Error:", parsedData.error);
+                    document.getElementById("conditionText").textContent = 
+                        translations[currentLanguage]?.weatherError || "Weather unavailable";
                     return;
                 }

172-172: Consider removing excessive console.log statements.

Numerous debug console.log statements have been added throughout the code. For production code in a browser extension, consider either:

  1. Removing these logs, or
  2. Wrapping them in a debug flag (e.g., if (DEBUG) console.log(...))

This prevents console clutter for users and avoids exposing internal logic unnecessarily.

Also applies to: 175-175, 181-181, 184-184, 190-190, 195-195, 457-457, 471-471, 479-479, 484-489, 539-541, 567-569, 587-590


203-213: Consider standardizing location storage format.

The code handles both plain text (line 205) and JSON object (line 337) formats for weatherLocation, with parsing logic at lines 123-140 to accommodate both. While functional, this dual-format approach adds complexity and potential for confusion.

Consider normalizing to always store JSON objects with a consistent schema for better maintainability.

Also applies to: 336-339

119-140: LGTM: Location parsing handles both JSON and plain text formats.

The defensive parsing with try-catch properly handles the transition between storage formats, falling back gracefully when JSON parsing fails.


203-213: LGTM: Cache invalidation on manual location entry.

Properly clears all weather-related cache entries to force a fresh fetch when the user manually enters a new location.


360-360: LGTM: Defensive guard for keyboard navigation.

This check prevents errors when attempting to navigate suggestions that don't exist, allowing other handlers to process the event instead.


336-339: LGTM: Dual storage preserves both display name and coordinates.

Storing both the full location object and the lat,lon query separately enables better UX (showing readable names) while maintaining precise coordinates for API queries.


527-559: LGTM: Open-Meteo integration with graceful fallback.

The integration properly supplements humidity data from Open-Meteo while preserving WeatherAPI's condition text. Error handling appropriately falls back to WeatherAPI values if the Open-Meteo fetch fails.

However, note that the stated goal of "improved humidity accuracy" is not achieved through the normalizeHumidity function (lines 54-68), which remains unused.


397-406: Do not rely on unauthenticated ipinfo.io requests in production.

The code uses ipinfo.io without authentication. While the free tier is unlimited for requests, ipinfo.io recommends using an API access token (especially for browser extensions) to apply rate limiting controls and token restrictions (IP/domain-based). Unauthenticated requests lack these protections.

Consider:

  1. Adding an authenticated API token with domain restrictions (to prevent abuse)
  2. Implementing fallback location methods in case ipinfo.io becomes unavailable
  3. Caching location results more aggressively to reduce API dependency

296-311: Logic conflict: saveLocButton.click() overwrites the full location object.

Line 306 stores the complete location object with lat, lon, region, and country. However, saveLocButton.click() on line 308 triggers the handler at lines 167-182, which overwrites weatherLocation with only {name: userLocation, isPlainText: true}, losing all the structured data.

The weatherLocationQuery is also cleared by the save handler (line 175), negating the storage on line 307.

🐛 Proposed fix: Skip the conflicting save handler
     function selectLocation(index) {
         const selectedLocation = suggestions[index];

         const locationText = selectedLocation.region
             ? `${selectedLocation.name}, ${selectedLocation.region}, ${selectedLocation.country}`

         // Store the full object and the lat,lon query separately

In @scripts/weather.js:
- Around line 93-97: The code sets userLocInput.value to the raw savedLocation
string when JSON.parse returns an object without a name, causing ugly raw JSON
to be shown; instead, validate the parsed object and if it lacks a name treat it
as invalid: do not assign the raw JSON to userLocInput.value, set
userLocInput.value = "" (or a sensible fallback), set locationData = null or {
isPlainText: false, invalid: true } and remove or overwrite the bad
savedLocation (or clear localStorage) so future loads don't re-use malformed
data; locate and update the branch that currently does userLocInput.value =
savedLocation and locationData = { name: savedLocation, isPlainText: true } to
perform the validation and fallback handling.
🧹 Nitpick comments (6)
scripts/weather.js (6)

364-376: Address the TODO: IP geolocation endpoint lacks authentication and fallback.

The TODO on lines 367-368 correctly identifies the need for an authenticated token with domain restrictions. Currently, this uses the unauthenticated ipinfo.io endpoint, which has strict rate limits (~50,000 requests/month for free tier) and no fallback mechanism.

Would you like me to open an issue to track implementing:

  1. An authenticated ipinfo.io token with domain restrictions
  2. A fallback service (e.g., ip-api.com, ipify.org) if the primary fails?

411-416: Consider user's locale for fallback location.

Hardcoding "Bangalore" as the fallback location may not be appropriate for users in other regions. Consider:

  • Using a neutral approach like displaying an error state without weather data
  • Prompting the user to enter their location manually
  • Using browser locale to pick a more relevant default city
♻️ Alternative: Show error state instead of arbitrary fallback
         } catch (error) {
             console.error("Location resolution failed:", error);
-            // Fallback to Bangalore if all else fails
-            currentUserLocation = "Bangalore";
-            fetchWeather();
+            // Show error state and prompt user to enter location manually
+            document.getElementById("conditionText").textContent =
+                translations[currentLanguage]?.locationError || "Location unavailable";
+            document.getElementById("temp").textContent = "--";
+            locationCont.classList.remove("inactive");
         }

454-455: Consider adding timeout to weather API fetch.

The fetch call has no timeout, which could cause the request to hang indefinitely on slow or unresponsive networks, degrading user experience.

♻️ Add AbortController timeout
+                const controller = new AbortController();
+                const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 10000); // 10s timeout
+
-                let data = await fetch(weatherApi);
+                let data = await fetch(weatherApi, { signal: controller.signal });
+                clearTimeout(timeoutId);
                 parsedData = await data.json();

539-540: Redundant localStorage read immediately after write.

Line 540 re-reads weatherParsedData from localStorage right after it was written on line 531. The filteredData variable already contains the same data and could be used directly.

♻️ Use existing variable instead of re-reading
             }

-            // Update parsedData with the latest data
-            parsedData = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("weatherParsedData"));
+            // Use filteredData if we just fetched, otherwise parsedData from cache
+            if (typeof filteredData !== 'undefined') {
+                parsedData = filteredData;
+            }

             // Update weather data
             UpdateWeather();

Or restructure to assign parsedData = filteredData at the end of the fetch block.


744-748: Consider dynamic update instead of full page reload.

Reloading the entire page when the min/max temperature checkbox changes is a heavy UX pattern. The temperature display could be updated dynamically by re-calling updateTemperatureDisplay() with the new state.

This would require refactoring updateTemperatureDisplay to be accessible outside UpdateWeather, but would provide a smoother user experience.


184-202: Verify rate limit and domain restriction configurations for shared Weather API keys.

The hardcoded WeatherAPI keys are an intentional design choice for this open-source browser extension, allowing users to avoid setup friction. The code correctly prioritizes user-supplied keys when available (via localStorage).

To validate this approach is properly protected:

  • Confirm these "shared" keys have strict rate limits configured in the WeatherAPI dashboard
  • Verify domain restrictions are in place (if applicable) to prevent abuse from other origins
  • Document the security trade-off and caching strategy (note: 16 min cache for shared keys vs 7.25 min for user keys shows rate-limit awareness)

Users are already directed to obtain their own keys via the UI and documentation, which is the recommended path.

9-16: LGTM!

Clean debug utility implementation with a flag for conditional logging. Setting DEBUG_MODE = false for production is appropriate.


134-164: LGTM!

Good defensive error handling with user-facing alert on failure. The toggle state is properly reverted when location fetch fails.


167-182: LGTM!

Proper cache invalidation when manual location is saved. Clearing related cache entries (weatherLocationQuery, weatherParsedData, weatherParsedTime, weatherParsedLocation) ensures a fresh fetch with the new location.


326-345: LGTM!

Good guard clause on line 329 to prevent keyboard navigation errors when no suggestions exist, allowing other handlers to process the event normally.


503-528: LGTM - Good fallback pattern for Open-Meteo integration.

The humidity augmentation is well-structured with a try/catch that gracefully falls back to WeatherAPI values. The humiditySource field provides useful debugging info.

Minor note: The humiditySource field is stored but not currently displayed to users. Consider whether this metadata is needed, or if it's useful for debugging purposes only.

In @scripts/weather.js:
- Around line 424-428: The fallback IP lookup block (ipInfo, locationResponse,
ipLocation, currentUserLocation) needs to check locationResponse.ok before
calling .json(); update the code in the same routine as fetchIPBasedLocation to
verify locationResponse.ok and handle non-OK responses (throw or log and
skip/return) to avoid parsing errors on rate limits or server errors, then only
set currentUserLocation = ipLocation.loc when the response is OK.
- Around line 181-196: The save handler attached to saveLocButton currently
saves an empty string as normalizedLocation when userLocInput is blank; add
input validation at the start of the click callback to trim and check
userLocInput.value and if empty, prevent saving (e.g., show a user-facing
message or return early) so you do not call localStorage.setItem with an empty
name; update the click listener for saveLocButton (the function that creates
normalizedLocation and writes weatherLocation, weatherLocationQuery,
weatherParsedData, etc.) to bail out on empty input and only proceed to store
and reload when userLocation is non-empty.
- Around line 384-396: In fetchIPBasedLocation, add a check of the HTTP response
status before calling response.json(): after awaiting
fetch("https://ipinfo.io/json/") verify response.ok (or response.status) and, if
not OK, log the status and response.statusText (or body) and return null (or a
handled fallback) instead of attempting to parse JSON; keep the existing catch
for network errors to return null.
- Around line 328-331: The code after window.location.reload() (the assignments
to suggestions and the call to toggleAutocomplete) is unreachable; either remove
those dead statements or move them to execute before calling
window.location.reload() so cleanup runs prior to navigation—update the block
containing window.location.reload() accordingly (adjust the suggestions variable
and toggleAutocomplete() call placement or delete them).
🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
scripts/weather.js (3)

160-160: Consider using JSON.stringify for consistent storage.

While this works because localStorage.setItem("useGPS", true) coerces to "true" and JSON.parse("true") returns true, it's inconsistent with how other data is stored. For clarity:

♻️ Suggested fix for consistency
-                    localStorage.setItem("useGPS", true);
+                    localStorage.setItem("useGPS", JSON.stringify(true));

And similarly at line 174:

-            localStorage.setItem("useGPS", false);
+            localStorage.setItem("useGPS", JSON.stringify(false));

474-478: Add response status check for Weather API fetch.

If the Weather API returns a non-2xx response, the code relies on parsedData.error which may not be present for all error types (e.g., network timeouts resolved with error pages, or 5xx errors with non-JSON bodies).

🛡️ Suggested improvement
                 let data = await fetch(weatherApi);
+                if (!data.ok) {
+                    throw new Error(`Weather API request failed: ${data.status}`);
+                }
                 parsedData = await data.json();

                 debugLog("WeatherAPI Response:", parsedData);

559-561: Redundant localStorage read immediately after write.

filteredData was just saved to localStorage on line 551, then immediately re-read on line 560. Use filteredData directly instead.

♻️ Suggested fix
                 debugLog("Filtered Data saved to localStorage:", filteredData);
+                parsedData = filteredData;
             }

-            // Update parsedData with the latest data
-            parsedData = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("weatherParsedData"));
-
             // Update weather data
             UpdateWeather();

9-16: Debug utilities look good.

The debug mode is correctly disabled for production, and the debugLog function provides a clean way to conditionally log debug information.


80-117: Good defensive handling of localStorage data.

The normalization logic properly validates JSON structure and gracefully handles malformed or invalid data by clearing it and warning. This is a solid improvement for robustness.


565-738: UpdateWeather function is well-implemented.

Good handling of RTL languages, temperature unit switching, and icon fallback. The location visibility toggle is a nice UX feature.


739-745: Good user-facing error handling.

The error message falls back gracefully and provides a user-friendly message rather than exposing technical details.


764-768: LGTM.

199-215: Hardcoded API keys are exposed in client-side code.

These Weather API keys are visible to anyone inspecting the source. While they appear to be default/fallback keys, consider the implications:

  • Keys could be abused for unauthorized API calls
  • Rate limits could be exhausted by malicious actors
  • Keys may need rotation if compromised

For a browser extension, this is somewhat unavoidable without a backend proxy, but worth documenting the risk.

Consider whether these keys have appropriate rate limits or domain restrictions configured in the Weather API dashboard.

438-450: Duplicated IP fetch logic - consider reusing fetchIPBasedLocation().

The fallback IP lookup duplicates the logic from fetchIPBasedLocation(). Consider reusing the existing function for consistency and maintainability:

             else {
-                // Fallback IP lookup with status check
-                const ipInfo = "https://ipinfo.io/json/";
-                const locationResponse = await fetch(ipInfo);
-                
-                if (!locationResponse.ok) {
-                    console.error("Fallback IP lookup failed - HTTP", locationResponse.status, locationResponse.statusText);
-                    throw new Error("Fallback IP location failed");
-                }
-                
-                const ipLocation = await locationResponse.json();
-                currentUserLocation = ipLocation.loc;
+                // Fallback IP lookup
+                currentUserLocation = await fetchIPBasedLocation();
+                if (!currentUserLocation) {
+                    throw new Error("Fallback IP location failed");
+                }
             }

554-556: Consider adding HTTP status check for Open-Meteo response.

For consistency with fetchIPBasedLocation() and better error diagnostics, consider checking response.ok before parsing:

                     const openMeteoResponse = await fetch(openMeteoUrl);
+                    if (!openMeteoResponse.ok) {
+                        throw new Error(`Open-Meteo HTTP ${openMeteoResponse.status}`);
+                    }
                     const openMeteoData = await openMeteoResponse.json();

The existing try/catch will handle this gracefully, but the error message will be more informative.


581-582: Redundant JSON re-parsing.

After saving filteredData to localStorage (line 573), the code immediately re-parses it. You could use filteredData directly to avoid the extra serialization round-trip:

-            // Update parsedData with the latest data
-            parsedData = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("weatherParsedData"));
+            // Use the filtered data we just processed (or cached data if we didn't refresh)
+            if (typeof filteredData !== 'undefined') {
+                parsedData = filteredData;
+            }

Or simply assign parsedData = filteredData; at the end of the if block before the closing brace on line 579.


454-457: Consider a more generic fallback location.

The hardcoded "Bangalore" fallback may not be ideal for a global user base. Consider using a neutral default, making it configurable, or prompting the user to enter their location when all automatic methods fail.

9-16: LGTM!

The debug logging implementation is clean and follows best practices with a single flag to control debug output.


148-178: LGTM!

The IP-based location toggle logic handles both success and failure cases appropriately, with proper state management and user feedback.


180-203: LGTM!

Good addition of input validation for empty locations, and the cache clearing ensures fresh weather data is fetched for the new location.


316-341: LGTM!

Good fix moving the cleanup logic before the reload call, as code after window.location.reload() would not execute reliably.


394-411: Consider obtaining an ipinfo.io API key for production deployment.

The function fetches from ipinfo.io without authentication. Unauthenticated requests are limited to 1,000 per day (shared across all callers from the same IP). For any extension with a meaningful user base, this limit will be quickly exceeded, causing the service to fail. An authenticated free account provides 50,000 requests/month. Either register for an API token or evaluate alternative geolocation providers before production release.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Add HTTP status check before parsing Weather API response.

The code parses the response JSON without first checking response.ok. While the code handles API error responses (line 501-509), network errors or non-200 HTTP responses may cause unexpected behavior or uninformative error messages.

                 let data = await fetch(weatherApi);
+                if (!data.ok) {
+                    console.error("WeatherAPI HTTP error:", data.status, data.statusText);
+                    throw new Error(`Weather API failed: ${data.status}`);
+                }

233-249: Critical: API keys exposed in client-side code.

Hardcoding API keys in client-side JavaScript exposes them to extraction and abuse. Anyone can view the extension's source code, extract these keys, and use them in their own applications, potentially exhausting rate limits or quotas and causing service disruption.

Consider implementing a backend proxy service that securely stores API keys server-side and forwards requests, or use a more secure key management approach.

101-102: Simplify coordinate validation.

The isFinite() check already returns false for NaN values, making the separate !isNaN() check redundant.

-                    const hasValidLat = typeof locationData.lat === 'number' && !isNaN(locationData.lat) && isFinite(locationData.lat);

9-16: LGTM! Clean debug utility implementation.

The debug logging utility is well-structured and DEBUG_MODE is correctly set to false for production.


173-202: Verify the IP location fallback behavior.

The implementation correctly handles IP-based location fetching with proper error handling. However, when IP location is enabled (lines 462-466), it clears manual location data. If IP location fails in a future session, there will be no fallback to the previously saved manual location.

Consider preserving manual location data as a backup instead of removing it.


205-230: LGTM! Proper input validation and cache management.

The manual location save handler correctly validates empty input, normalizes the data structure, and clears relevant caches to force a refresh.


589-610: Humidity augmentation logic looks correct.

The Open-Meteo humidity augmentation properly validates the response, falls back to WeatherAPI humidity on error, and tracks the data source with humiditySource. This aligns with the PR objective of improving humidity accuracy.


633-782: LGTM! Comprehensive UI update logic.

The UpdateWeather function properly handles temperature units, localization, RTL languages, and provides a clean location toggle feature. The implementation is thorough and well-structured.


392-392: Good fix for keyboard navigation.

The check for items.length === 0 properly prevents this handler from interfering with other key event listeners (like the Enter handler for saving location) when no suggestions are displayed.

Implement fetch timeouts across all API calls.

Multiple fetch calls throughout the file lack timeout handling (lines 279, 434, 544, 596). If any of these APIs are slow or unresponsive, the application will hang indefinitely, significantly degrading user experience.

Implement a timeout mechanism using AbortController for all fetch calls, with appropriate timeout values (e.g., 5-10 seconds).

🔧 Example implementation for reusable fetch with timeout

Add this helper function at the top of the file:

async function fetchWithTimeout(url, options = {}, timeout = 5000) {
    const controller = new AbortController();
    const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), timeout);
    
    try {
        const response = await fetch(url, {
            ...options,
            signal: controller.signal
        });
        clearTimeout(timeoutId);
        return response;
    } catch (error) {
        clearTimeout(timeoutId);
        throw error;
    }
}

Then replace fetch calls with fetchWithTimeout:

-const response = await fetch(`https://api.weatherapi.com/v1/search.json?key=${savedApiKey}&q=${query}`);
+const response = await fetchWithTimeout(`https://api.weatherapi.com/v1/search.json?key=${savedApiKey}&q=${query}`);

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Address rate limiting and timeout concerns with ipinfo.io.

Two concerns with the IP geolocation implementation:

  1. Rate limiting risk: The ipinfo.io free tier has a 50k requests/month limit. For a browser extension with many users, this limit could be quickly exhausted, causing the feature to fail for all users.

  2. Missing timeout: The fetch call has no timeout, which could cause the application to hang indefinitely if the API is slow or unresponsive.

Consider using a service with higher rate limits, implementing request timeout handling, or adding exponential backoff for retries.

🔧 Add fetch timeout
 async function fetchIPBasedLocation() {
     try {
         debugLog("fetchIPBasedLocation() called");

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Reconsider fallback logic and default location.

Two issues with the fallback behavior:

  1. Duplicate IP lookup (lines 482-495): This duplicates the logic from fetchIPBasedLocation() instead of reusing it. When all manual/cached locations fail, it performs another IP lookup, which might not be the expected behavior for users who intentionally disabled GPS/IP location.

  2. Hardcoded "Bangalore" fallback (line 502): Using "Bangalore" as the ultimate fallback is not suitable for a global application. Consider either prompting the user to enter a location or using a more neutral approach.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Add URL encoding for location parameter.

The currentUserLocation is directly interpolated into the URL without encoding (line 541). If the location contains special characters (e.g., "São Paulo", "Zürich"), the URL will be malformed and the API call will fail.

🐛 Add URL encoding
             // Primary: WeatherAPI fetch
-            let weatherApi = `https://api.weatherapi.com/v1/forecast.json?key=${apiKey}&q=${currentUserLocation}&days=1&aqi=no&alerts=no&lang=${lang}`;
+            let weatherApi = `https://api.weatherapi.com/v1/forecast.json?key=${apiKey}&q=${encodeURIComponent(currentUserLocation)}&days=1&aqi=no&alerts=no&lang=${lang}`;
             debugLog("WeatherAPI URL:", weatherApi);

             let data = await fetch(weatherApi);

In @scripts/weather.js around lines 540 - 546, The URL is built by interpolating
currentUserLocation directly into weatherApi which breaks for names with spaces
or non-ASCII characters; update the construction to URL-encode the location
(e.g., use encodeURIComponent(currentUserLocation) when building weatherApi) so
the query parameter is safe, and keep the same debugLog but log the encoded
value for clarity.
